Verse 1: On the day that I was born, he took me in his hands and promised me that he would always love me. And though I didn't understand a single word he said, I knew someday I'd know what he
was sayin'. And on the video he showed me, I was learnin' how to walk, and i clung to him as far as I could tell. And then he looked at me, and said it was ok. And somehow Iknew he'd catch me if
I fell.

Chorus: But Itook my first step forward, and got up off my knees. Every daddy has a princess, and that lucky girl was me. He was all I ever wanted, and he knew when I was scared. 'Cause he looked
at me with that smile that showed me that he cared.

Verse 2: Up until today, there only was one guy who'd take me to the movies, or hold my hand when I would cry. And when I got home that night, I was cryin' loud and deep. I was scared that I
would lose him, so scared I couldn't sleep. But my daddy he came in, and sat down on my bed. And I clung to him and told him of my fears. And when he looked at me, and said it was ok, once again I
knew he'd catch me if I fell.

Chorus: So I took a big step forward, and got up off his knee. Every daddy has a princess, and that lucky girl was me. He was all I ever wanted, and he knew when I was scared, 'cause he looked at
me with that smile that showed me that he cared.

Verse 3: Up until tonight, there only was one guy who'd hold me in his arms and say, "I love you, till the day I die." And when I showed my dad the ring, my spirits were so high. But I knew that
it would be so hard, to tell him goodbye.

Chorus: But I took that last step forward, and got onto my knees. Every daddy has a princess, but now she has to leave. He's still all I ever wanted, he still knows when I am scared. But he has to
let me go now, to show me he still cares.
